      Which UK retailers ship to OZ

      I thought that it would be usueful to start a thread listing the UK retailers who will ship to Australia and what their rates are.

      I have read somewhere else that M&S and Next will ship but cant remember how much they Charge.

      I suggest that we try to build up list including the following inforamtion:

      Retailer
      Description of goods shippied
      Shipping cost
      Approx time taken to arrive
      When last used

      Once I have a feel for how much information there is, I can design a good summary format to enable quick reference.

      What a great idea for a thread, unfortunately I get all my items here in Oz or from the British Shop.

      Next delivers for free now, used them a couple of months ago for pants. Took about 10 days
      Amazon deliver books and DVDs free if your order is over £20 I think, again, used them a few months ago, again took about 7-10 days
      Asos I hear deliver for free,
      Wiggle are good for sports stuff apparently, v cheap compared to aus prices.

      I think now is a great time to use uk Internet retailers. The aus Internet retail Market is under developed in comparison, the aus dollar is v strong against the pound. Uk retailers are really waking up to the huge potential of the aus Market, particularly as the uk economy is so weak ATM.

      There is a thread already active on this subject, but it tends to focus on clothing shops only

      http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/news-g...australia.html

      Some of those clothes shops also deliver mens and kids stuff also so the title is a bit misleading.

      Play.com doesn;t but I get them posted to my dad's address and he posts them to me. Only costs about 3 quid but it can take up to 3 weeks.

      Book Depository are very good and postage is free

      I've tried to order items from Debenhams twice now, and both times the order has been lost....they refunded after they informed me the goods were lost (after 5 working days, which seems strange since I was expecting the delivery to take 2 weeks anyway), though I'm still out of pocket with international exchange fees on my Oz credit card. Shalln't be using them again...if anyone knows any toy shops that deliver out here, would love to know about it, must get my hands on the Octonauts toys before Christmas!

      Thanks

      Just wanted to say a huge thanks to everyone who has posted on this thread. It looks like there is a big selection of retailers who will post to Oz and hopefully in time, they will start to remove VAT charges on Oz based orders - now that really would make for a bargain!
